Not Fugu

Anniversary dinner last night at Esca. I ate a couple of these little cuties and boy were they tasty!

I didn't watch Palin drone

I was out being patriotic watching Tropic Thunder last night, so I missed the veep hopeful's speech. I have, however, been brainstorming with my Pops on different ways to play with Palin's surname:

Palindrome

me: Redder mom
pop: but will a boob understand it, nourished as they are on all that right wing pap
me: Right wing pap? A civic gig.

(unsent: Redder mom sees civic gig.) I should write headlines for the Daily News.

me and my pops

Met my old man for lunch today and he brought this picture along. Kind of cool to see that old house on River Drive in Hadley, MA, even if its just one wall. Moved all the rest of my stuff down to Brooklyn, finally, last week. It had been gathering dust and mold in an unused room at my brother's apartment for the last few years since Pop sold his house to retire to the quiet and serenity of the upper West side. Feels good to have all of my stuff in one place for the first time since 1993.
